I agree. With additional time on hands from covid, I almost look forward to things breaking so I can fix...

What else you have planned?

I want to add the rudder indicator I purchased last year, but requires drilling in the hull which is not something I'm comfy with, so dragging my feet.

jhnmdahl wrote: Thu Mar 25, 2021 12:16 pm I haven't removed posts, closed this thread, or taken other action for a couple reasons. First, Aslan (forum moderator) saw and commented on the thread before I did, and we're exactly on the same page.

Second, the thread did get derailed from the Bruce's original intent, but we don't have a "no thread derailment" rule (and heaven help us if we did). Personal attacks that make members feel unwelcome are grounds for post removal or other action, but this thread didn't approach that. It looks like people are largely over it, but Aslan and I would rather err on the side of letting people get along on their own than being heavy-handed and banning or locking, etc.. Joining this forum can be a bit like walking into a bar full of regulars you don't know, and I appreciate that several people in this thread made an effort to show appreciation and welcome new members.

Finally, thanks to Bruce for sticking around in this thread despite his frustrations, and for documenting all the upgrades he's done with his boat. Helping others get the most out of their boats and the boating lifestyle is what this site is all about, and we're ALL glad you're here.

I think you missed one then. Calling out "certain people" post is only used to try to further divide this website. And to whine for attention

On the R5, I had to make a plate that attached to the dash since the best place was too narrow to allow all 4 mounting screw to engage with the dash. The plate is just 1/4" aluminum which I tapped 4 #8 screws into and drilled two 1/4: mounting screws to go through the dash with nuts on the back. An additional 1/4" hole was drilled for the power cord. I will be wiring it in parallel with the 12V lighter outlet once my crimp connectors come in.
